Kicker Guy Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 i believe he was referring to the product number LVL4 18 not 4 18's. Oh whoops my bad.... read it too fast. 4 subs going against 2 subs with about the same power rating and you are asking how the L7's can take double? In the right enclosure the L7 can take 1000 daily (12 inch) 1100 x 4 = 4000watts. The DC sub is 1k (if I remember right) I would say 1500 though. 1500 x 2 = 3000 watts. Not quite double but still 1k more. Now for cone area... 12 x 12 = 144 x 4 = 576 9 x 9 x 3.14 = 254.34 x 2 = 508.68 So more power and more cone, but oh yea thats right around here DC and Fi are god and nothing else will perform.... my bad u guys are right. Go with less power and less cone area you are bound to be better. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Sub Amp:American Bass VFL 500.1 Subs: 4 Fi BL 18's Enclosure:21.5 Cubic foot flat wall tuned to 40 hz Batteries: 3 Kinetik 2400's in the back, Kinetik 1200 under hood.

Go with less power and less cone area you are bound to be better. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif First of all, none of us on here are saying that DC and FI are godly like. They are however great quality subwoofers...more so then Kicker in my opinion. It's not like I am against Kicker or anything...take a look at my setup. I wouldn't give the 06-07 L7 any more then what its rated for. If loganuf had the 08 versions then I would say he could feed his 12s a little more juice. So, 750 watts x 4= 3000 watts. A DC lvl4 18" can take 2000 watts rms and probably more in the right enclosure. 2000 x 2= 4000 watts. The L7s might have a little more cone area, but the quality of the cone isn't as good as the DC lvl4. Not to mention, two 18s look cooler and sounds badass when you tell someone. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif 2008 Chevy Impala (undercover cop style) Setup in the makings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookie023 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 u have more cone area with 4 12's than you would with 2 18's. 12 inches more cone area. why dont you just get another 2500 and double your power. that would make a pretty noticeable difference in the way they sound. i have 4 12's now (cvx's) and they are underpowered but they still get down. im selling mine to go with 4 18's but i dont think 2 would be worth it. 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe 4 Kicker CVX 12's (under construction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubalicious Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 in a suv it comes down to cone area. The more cone area you have the louder it will be. I would recommend the dc audio 18's and do 4 of them you will be very happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
